In addition to the Bruce Sanderson's article, you could have a look at
Printfil also. It works also with Windows-only and virtual printers (fax
printers, PDF writers etc.)

Kind regards,

on xp install your printer on usb or network printer,
next
install second (the same) printer (change port LPT1)
on "ports" check "Enable printer pooling" and check ports LPT1, USB or network port)
